Shortly after that confession went live I got a text from my awesome friend Hanna with a recipe for raw fudge brownie and a command-slash-challenge of “Cravings Be Gone!”.

I immediately liked the sound of the ingredients list, but I liked the super short method even better.

Chuck stuff into the food processor, whizz, chill for 2 hours, eat.

I’d like to say that I patiently waited the 2 hours, but that would be a lie. I greedily gobbled about a quarter of the mixture after attempting just a tiny taste before putting it in the fridge.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Deliciousness awaits.

Even better than the taste, is that it’s good for you too. Completely raw ingredients, not heat treated – and vegan and paleo to boot!

Me thinks this will be making a major appearance during the remainder of this pregnancy and beyond…

What are you craving this week? Join in the fun! Please… I’m such a sticky beak.

How to join in with: This week I’m craving…

You don’t need to be pregnant – everyone can come along for the ride.

Every Friday I’ll publish a post with what I’m craving during my pregnancy.

You publish a blog post about what you’re craving and link back to my blog post.

I’ll add all the links into the blog post each week so others can click through and check out what you’re craving! If for some reason your link doesn’t appear, just give me a little nudge via a comment or note through my contact form.

Your post could be about something you are craving that is unattainable (as in, sashimi from a specific restaurant in Tokyo) or something you craved then made/ate and took a picture of. Or you can use a photo you borrowed from the internet (link to its source please, that’s good web etiquette!).

What other bloggers are craving this week…

Have you posted your craving? Let me know in the comments so I can link you up!

1. Add the pecans to a food processor and blitz until finely chopped to the size of breadcrumbs. Add the dates and blitz until combined.

2. Add all the other ingredients and blitz until the mixture pulls together in a ball. About 30 seconds.

3. Press into a small slice tin or simply onto a sheet of non-stick paper and press into a square shape, folding over the paper to cover and help shape. Refrigerate for 2 hours until firm then slice and serve. Keeps in the fridge for up to a week – if it lasts that long! (It won’t).

Aaarggghh… my mouth is watering. Last Christmas I made something sort of similar with cinnamon and ginger. Sadly my children didn’t love it… but I did and ate it up like a madwoman. So healthy and so delicious, what a combo.
